Rated 5 out of 5 by tonysturn Don't beleive all you hear..
I'm not a professional photographer, but I do like good image quality.. and I think a full frame camera, is as good as it gets, ..I recently owned another full frame, but although the image quality was good ,I found myself not using the camera much because it was just too big and noisy (click click) uncomfortable.. When I saw the A7 I thought great.. small, full frame and mirror-less (quieter)
Unfortunately on reading the reviews I continually read 'slow focusing'so I was really put off buying it .. But I thought let me judge for myself,I can always return it ..So I went to John Lewis store and tried it out.. Wow.. eureka... I loved it.. the size and weight first of all , is wonderful ... I did notice the focus did hunt a bit on multiple point focus .. but I never use that anyway.. flexible spot focus which I use all the time is spot on... each time every time.. in low light as well.. Much quieter than the one I had before only (one click) .. The image quality is beautiful .. even in high ISO's.. I put a Sony 50mm f1.8 lens on it and hasn't been off the camera ..these are images I've always dreamed of getting , and in low light too.. this really is all I want in a camera .......

Rated 1 out of 5 by Pal670 A nice Idea, a bad execution
I am writing this review in comparison to the nearest rival in price, which to me would be the Canon 6D.
I came from a 5D3 to the Sony A7, due to the small form factor, nice dynamic range raw and the promise of big things.
Sadly, the focus in anything but perfect light (even in a slightly dimmed studio it hunts HORRIBLY), is absolutely atrocious.
I compared it to my partners 8 year old Nikon, and to be quite frank, I was embarrassed. The Nikon locked on FAR quicker, and with FAR better accuracy.
The raw files it produces in perfect light, I must say, are pretty amazing, but if you are going to use it OUT of a studio, look elsewhere.
My main priority was shooting in the studio for our magazine, but it failed too many times to mention.
Do not recommend sadly, maybe in another few iterations it will be something to behold.
